I always get asked how
to load samples into Reason that have been created in a different digital audio workstation (DAW). I’m going to
show how to chop up a piece of audio in Logic and then import it into the
NN-XT advanced sampler in Reason.
After I open Logic, I just chose an audio segment to use.
Then I'll export the
region as a WAVE file, which is what the NN-XT sampler will be able to play. Highlight the region by selecting it and then simply
control-click on it and export. When you are finished, QUIT OUT OF LOGIC. This is so that we don't inadvertently open Reason in Rewire mode. More about that here.
Now to the goodies. Open
your Reason session and create a mixer and an NN-XT advanced sampler. You can easily
load it from the CREATE menu on top of the window or conveniently by just control-clicking
on the black area of the hardware window.
Now load the NN-XT the same
way you did it with the Mixer. Make sure the signal flow is set up correctly
so you don’t have weird settings messing up your groove! You can do this by
pressing the tab button, it will show you the back of the virtual rack where
you can verify everything is smoothly running.
Now clear the NNXT by just control-clicking
on the device and choosing INITIALIZE PATCH from the menu.
Open the NNXT Remote Editor by clicking in the little arrow at the bottom left side of the device.
Now you can browse for the audio file from Logic and voilá! You have your sample loaded into the NN-XT.
Now you can start playing
around with the effects from the ENVELOPES, FILTERS, LFO’S, etc.
You
can even add delay to the sample, reverb, scream distortion, the only limit you
have is the one you put on yourself.
Have fun!
